North Georgia Gal's Financial Awakening

Trying to Make Smarter Decisions Day by Day

Where to Begin...it is hard to believe that it has been 9 years since I started this Blog. You guys have always been here supporting me and cheering me on.

I am in the process of refinancing my LOC into a mortgage, rolling my credit card debt into it. Will probably then close all of my credit cards after that.

I still have my budget in place for a couple of months out, but I still have to make changes to it.

I hope to sell my house in about 6 months, and move closer to my kids, about an hour away. I will still commute to work because it would only be about 40 minutes. But this can't happen until my responsibility to my mom is done, she is close to moving in with my niece, but who knows when that will happen.

At Home with Sick Kid

March 9th, 2009 at 05:11 pm

My son woke up this morning feeling really bad. His throat is killing him. So I took him to doctor and got him some more antibiotics. I say more because this is probably the third time he has been for his throat. Problem is that he never finishes the antibiotic and so it keeps recurring. But he has other things this time as well. Just hope I don't catch it!

I put a roast in the crock pot this morning. Should be good for dinner.

TV is still in the middle of the living room. I had a brilliant idea while at the doctor. I am going to call one of those places that pick up stuff. Don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner!

Right now finances look ok. Rain is forecast for the rest of week, so my DH might end up not working. That would be bad for our vacation! Starting to get excited about it. Trying to figure out things to do.

Ordinarily,I would agree with you. But his is 16 year old who is trying to assert his independence. He got upset when i asked him about is medication. So I quit asking him. I have decided to let him try to take care of himself.

I hope you get your son to read up on how he is endangering others by refusing to finish his antibiotics.

Personally I find it rather difficult to remember medications as well, not a sign of youth necessarily, just a bit to absentminded. But I also know how important it is to finish, so I might be a day late or so, but I do finish them.

I have stressed it to him...that he will be resistant to the antibiotic which could lead to serious problems. I have had my sister(a nurse) tell him in graphic details the dangers of not finishing. He just thinks he knows better than any of us. I too also make sure that I finish all antibiotics.

I would assume this is an older tv that is pre-black box. If you just want to get rid of it, try listing it with freecycle as a tv that could be used for gaming or watching videos. My dh and I did that once and someone came and picked ours up. They were thrilled because they didn't need a great tv, just something for their kid to play video games on. It keeps it out of the landfill.
